This template allows you to include a big image. If the image is too wide, the size of thumbnail frame will be smaller. If you do not want the image to use a thumbnail frame, you can use |border=no.
Usage
{{Scalable image|name|image width|caption|box width|alignment|alt=alt text}}
- An
image widthoption is required. This specifies the full width at which the image will be displayed, and is distinct from box width (the width of the box on the page). - A
captionoption is optional, and an image frame will be used if a caption is supplied. If the caption contains an equal sign, use the parameter|3=captionin the place of|caption. If the caption supplied is exactly equal to image syntax such asthumb, the image's tooltip will no longer display the caption, but instead default to the name of the image. - The
box widthoption is optional, and if given a value in pixels followed by "px", or a value in percent followed by "%", will set the width of the box to that amount. For example, 45% would use 45% of the text section width, (not a percentage of the image width). - The
alignmentoption is also optional but requires box width to be defined. If given a value ofrightorleft, the entire wide image will float to the right or left. If given a value ofnonethe image will not float. - The
alt textdescribes the image's visual appearance to visually disabled readers. Please see WP:ALT for details.
To hide the tooltip, use |tooltip=no.
To align the caption, use |align-cap=.
To remove the outer border, use |border=no.
